These are some fine-looking deer: healthy and well-fed. The deer shown in profile at the end is especially nice. Do they tend to disappear when hunting season starts? Friends in Comfort always had large herds roaming their private airstrip — until the day before hunting season. Then? They simply would fade into the woods, only to be seen from time to time at night.

The does are here all year round, no matter if it’s hunting-season or not. But then, we live within the citylimits, albeit just at the edge, and there’s no hunting within the city, of course. I don’t think, though, that the deer know that. 😀 But they are around in the countryside, too. I’d have to check if they can be seen in the open there during daylight hours.
